+----
+
+List operations.
+
+::
+
+  list(LENGTH <list> <output variable>)
+  list(GET <list> <element index> [<element index> ...]
+       <output variable>)
+  list(APPEND <list> [<element> ...])
+  list(FILTER <list> <INCLUDE|EXCLUDE> REGEX <regular_expression>)
+  list(FIND <list> <value> <output variable>)
+  list(INSERT <list> <element_index> <element> [<element> ...])
+  list(REMOVE_ITEM <list> <value> [<value> ...])
+  list(REMOVE_AT <list> <index> [<index> ...])
+  list(REMOVE_DUPLICATES <list>)
+  list(REVERSE <list>)
+  list(SORT <list>)
+
+``LENGTH`` will return a given list's length.
+
+``GET`` will return list of elements specified by indices from the list.
+
+``APPEND`` will append elements to the list.
+
+``FILTER`` will include or remove items from the list that match the
+mode's pattern.
+In ``REGEX`` mode, items will be matched against the given regular expression.
+For more information on regular expressions see also the :command:`string`
+command.
+
+``FIND`` will return the index of the element specified in the list or -1
+if it wasn't found.
+
+``INSERT`` will insert elements to the list to the specified location.
+
+``REMOVE_AT`` and ``REMOVE_ITEM`` will remove items from the list.  The
+difference is that ``REMOVE_ITEM`` will remove the given items, while
+``REMOVE_AT`` will remove the items at the given indices.
+
+``REMOVE_DUPLICATES`` will remove duplicated items in the list.
+
+``REVERSE`` reverses the contents of the list in-place.
+
+``SORT`` sorts the list in-place alphabetically.
+
+The list subcommands ``APPEND``, ``INSERT``, ``FILTER``, ``REMOVE_AT``,
+``REMOVE_ITEM``, ``REMOVE_DUPLICATES``, ``REVERSE`` and ``SORT`` may create new
+values for the list within the current CMake variable scope.  Similar to the
+:command:`set` command, the LIST command creates new variable values in the
+current scope, even if the list itself is actually defined in a parent
+scope.  To propagate the results of these operations upwards, use
+:command:`set` with ``PARENT_SCOPE``, :command:`set` with
+``CACHE INTERNAL``, or some other means of value propagation.
+
+NOTES: A list in cmake is a ``;`` separated group of strings.  To create a
+list the set command can be used.  For example, ``set(var a b c d e)``
+creates a list with ``a;b;c;d;e``, and ``set(var "a b c d e")`` creates a
+string or a list with one item in it.   (Note macro arguments are not
+variables, and therefore cannot be used in LIST commands.)
+
+When specifying index values, if ``<element index>`` is 0 or greater, it
+is indexed from the beginning of the list, with 0 representing the
+first list element.  If ``<element index>`` is -1 or lesser, it is indexed
+from the end of the list, with -1 representing the last list element.
+Be careful when counting with negative indices: they do not start from
+0.  -0 is equivalent to 0, the first list element.
